Volker's LaTeX Software

The licenses under which I offer this software is either the GPL or the LPPL, as given in the files themselves.

LaTeX & Co

See the TeX Users' Group (TUG) for more info on LaTeX. Almost all this software is also available from CTAN (the Comprehensive TeX Archive Network).

Macro packages for LaTeX2e documents:

CDlabel

download

Typeset covers and spines for CD cases.
License: LPPL
emptyart,
emptybook

download

The beginning of a document which stops after \begin{document} and waits for input. Great for using \show to find out how a certain command is defined within LaTeX.
License: public domain
ieeepes

download

Formatting of papers for the IEEE power engineering society.
License: LPPL
lhelp

download

Macros which are useful for many documents. It's a large collection of simple "little helpers" each of which do not really warrant a separate package on their own.
License: GPL 2 or later
listbib

download

Produces a complete listing of the contents of bibtex files, formatted for easy reference. Also contains program listbib, which does everything necessary to get a printable file of the specified bibtex files.
License: GPL 2 or later
listing

download

Insert program listings (or source code fragments) into documents.
License: LPPL
photo

download

Include photos (or any other image) into documents. Introduces a new float type "photo" similar to "figure" and "table", but unlike with those the photo caption can be in a number of different places, including next to the photo. A "photographer" line (usually in a small font) can also be added in a number of places.
License: LPPL
savefnmark

download

Sometimes the same footnote applies to more than one location in a table. With this package the mark of a footnote can be saved into a name, and re-used subsequently without creating another footnote at the bottom.
License: GPL 2 or later
signal

download

Defines and typesets signal names and their inverted states for text describing electronic circuits.
License: GPL 2 or later
vmargin

download

Introduce paper sizes and provide a number of macros for setting margins. Double-sided printing is supported.
New: setting page parameters for pdflatex.
License: LPPL
vpage

download

This is the predecessor to vmargin, and mentioned in the LaTeX Companion. It has been obsolete for quite a while now. Use vmargin instead.
License: LPPL

TODO: addincludegraphicsfinal, clipimage, mapsNZ, ornateborder.

 

Other:

dvipsconfig

download

This is a set of PostScript header files which can be used to control the printer, like simplex/duplex printing, or the printing, like screen frequencies of images, or the addition of a grid underlay. These header files work with dvips, and can also be inserted with the addpsctrl script into existing PostScript files.
License: GPL 2
makefonts

download

A set of Unix shell scripts (Bourne shell) running metafont to generate a full set of tfm and pk files, rather than having them generated on the fly. For LaTeX, AMS, and various other free fonts found on CTAN.
 

Scripts:

deltex/deltexa

download

Delete all files generated by latex/bibtex/dvips, of one document or all documents in the given directory(ies).
tx

download

Run latex, makeindex, etc. for the given document. This really cuts down on typing!
 

University of Canterbury Coat of Arms:

The official graphic files containing the University's Coat of Arms are not well-suited for LaTeX. I have cleaned them up (line breaks, bounding boxes) so the eps files will work properly. There are tiff files as well, and all in different sizes. Until someone complains, get them here (460k).
